Summary

Sherlock has been "strongly discouraged" from pursuing any cases after the shooting of Charles Augustus Magnussen, and has way too much time to think, and too much of that thinking involves second-guessing the decisions he's made over the past several years. He doesn't stay flat-bound for very long, however, because the temptation of the Case of the Mazarin Stone (and pissing off Mycroft) is just too much for him. Taking this case sets off a chain of events that...well, now I'm about to give away too much, aren't I?

Summary

John finds his marriage dissatisfying despite the birth of his daughter, Hannah, and he prizes what time he can spend on cases with Sherlock more than ever. Unfortunately, John has reason to suspect that Sherlock may have a new friend who's going to take up Sherlock's time and attention. As it turns out, there's much more to it than that.

Summary

John moves back into 221B after divorcing Mary, and Sherlock has nightmares about the time between the Fall and his return. John becomes preoccupied with the things that happened to Sherlock during that time, and preoccupied with Sherlock.
